Who better to have as a first guest on The Listening Tide than a polymath like Roosje Klap? Designer, educator, researcher, filmmaker, opera-writer and mother, Roosje brings a spirit and wealth of possibilities to any conversation.The episode begins a piece by Keith Jarrett Live from The Köln Concert (1975), and from this a thread of conversation was spun that could be described as the ‘community of things’, which plays such an important part of her person and practice. The contributions she brought with her takes the listener on a journey from LP albums and their covers to AI & machine-learning, and from Sunday radio to Technotronic Pumping Up the Jam.

In short, nice.

Note: the conversation is Dutch spoken, and being the first episode – and so enjoyable to make – it went a little longer than planned, so this episode consists of two equal parts (±45min).
